Launching “as soon as possible”. Following last week’s news about No Man’s Sky having one of its “biggest months” in the last few years, the team at Hello Games has rolled out a new ‘Echoes’ update. Although it’s not live on the Nintendo Switch just yet, it will be released on this platform “as soon…
The Xbox Digital Broadcast will be returning to Tokyo Game Show on September 21. Tokyo Game Show represents a special time each year where we share news and updates on games that we hope will delight Xbox fans in Japan and across Asia. There’s nothing quite like watching one of our shows live – here’s…
Following a huge leak of confidential Microsoft documents which revealed apparent plans for a new Xbox controller and Xbox Series X refresh, it looks clear that Microsoft itself is responsible for the accidental info dump.

After it launched, Baldur’s Gate 3 hit a phenomenal 800,000 concurrent Steam players and received PC Gamer’s highest review score in 16 years, but during its years in early access, it wasn’t widely expected to be the next big thing. Take as an example this May 2022 document accidentally leaked by Microsoft as part of…
CD Projekt Red had nowhere to go but up with Cyberpunk 2077’s police. At launch, the NCPD was the laughing stock of videogame law enforcement—officers would utterly fail to give chase if V hopped into a car, hilariously spawn behind perpetrators as soon as a crime was committed, and open fire for simple trespassing (hm,…
The FTC and Microsoft are presently in court over the FTC’s desire to block Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and as seems to happen every time a big gaming company goes to court, there’s been an accidental leak of confidential documents.

Starfield may have over 1,000 planets and moons but it has precisely zero local maps, a choice that starts out confusing and becomes a frequent annoyance.
